An object coming out of the night (5)

I believe the answer is:

thing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an object' is the definition.
(I know that object can be written as thing)

'coming out of the night' is the wordplay.
'night' can be anagrammed to 'THING'.
However, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thing that I've seen before include "Night (anag)" , "cup of tea" , "Article" , "Object, artefact" , "Obsession" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
